WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE Postmaster
General has issued an order to the post
master at Chicago to deliver no more reg
istered letters to the Chicago Farm Jour

submitted to him which convinces him
that the publication has no genuine SUBJ
scription list, and is not legitimately a
newspaper. The evidence consists largely
of the circulars issued by the proprietOrs
setting forth various expansive schemes
for the creation of a subscription list
among them one which promises the dis
tribution of premiums aggregating more
than $500, 900 as soon as its subscription
shall number 10000
